The picture is a real kick in the shins for the cult of blind military obedience and the lesson which is laid on the line relates to Pearl Harbor. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Though not one of Preminger's stronger films, it's still worth seeing this fact-based courtroom drama starring Gary Cooper. Full Review

With Cooper as the crusading officer, one is never in any doubt as to the correctness and sincerity of his views (Mitchell was posthumously rehabilitated in 1947), while Steiger puts in one of his inimitably flashy performances as the prosecuting attorney Full Review

Away from the courtroom, the film is less riveting, though Cooper is consistently impressive. Full Review

Rating: B -- The courtroom dramatics are the heart of the film and are done in a brilliant no-nonsense way. Full Review

Product Description:

A courtroom drama based on the true story of an American general who was court-martialled for accusing the military of criminal negligence and incompetance. The time was 1925 and, in the wake of World War I, General Billy Mitchell considered the Army and Navy's failure to begin seriously building up the Air Force akin to treason. He said so publicly and, during the famous trial that followed, predicted a situation akin to the bombing of Pearl Harbor that would occur some two decades later.
